If anyone was in the lounge today between 4 and 5pm, they would have seen me being dragged away kicking and screaming from the countertop. Wei Hong and Mervin thought it would be funny to render me helpless by grabbing my legs and arms and picking me up off the countertop that I was sitting on. Needless to say, I didn't go without a fight. After managing to carry me halfway into the MUSA office, I reached up and pinched Hong right on his hooters. BOTH of them. Serves him right! In retaliation, Hong, being the "gentleman" that he was dropped my legs and scampered off… He didn't get far though… no!!! I managed to grab him and give him a thorough beating up.
It seems that being the last day I'm working in the lounge, people have been trying to drag (read carry/ pick/ hoist/ elevate) me out of the lounge… one of them was Darren who pestered me to join MNSM. I wasn't wearing my shoes as I like walking around bare footed so I told him I couldn't go due to my unclad tootsies. He then proceeded to threaten me with him carrying me to the MNSM booth, which would have embarrassed the shit out of me, or I was to wear my shoes and follow him. The dratted boy barely counted to 3 before he came charging behind the counter and tried to pick me up off the table I was sitting on!!! I think my loud scream deterred him. But in the end, I put on my shoes and scampered out.
There is one thing though, I know I'll miss working in the lounge. I've made a good deal number of friends whilst working there. Anyone that has walked and sat behind the counter knows this. The lounge is like a home to many students. It's a rendezvous point and a place to chill and unwind after a hectic day of classes. It's a place that people go to when they want to get out of the hot Malaysian heat. It's where I have had so many good laughs and a good place to hide when I just need some loud "quiet". I'll miss counting money when I get tired of just making sure everything's ok. I'll miss watching people from behind the counter. I'll miss having a place I know I definitely can sit down.
Kate and Merv were talking to me about me taking up 2 hours instead of quitting altogether, but I want a specific time slot that would be good for me and not something that I feel would be taking up any of the time that I feel I may need for other things. I've asked Kim about it, but he has said that the time I have is as is due to the lack of people having breaks at the time I do. Oh well, my days as a lounge attendant are over. I loved it when I was working and I'll miss it dearly, but as long as I can come back to the lounge and hang out with the other loungies, I'm good.. :)
There are lots of things that have been flying around in my head as of late. I have loads of things to think about. Self assessments of my self consciousness, my character and my life. Toda, during Plant Biotech lecture, Prof Pua talked about how we should further our studies. I'm sure he knows what he's talking about. After all, he has seen all sorts of things over the 20-30 years of being in the field. Sitting there, in the lecture theatre, I couldn't help but wonder, should I do honours? Should I stop after my degree, should I just skip honours and fly into masters? How much time should I invest in studying? All these things are plaguing my mind and making me wonder.
I've also been having other less than savoury thoughts lately. Bordering a little on homicidal, I check myself to rein in my anger and annoyance. I'm sure those that have been reading my blog rather religiously, know that I despise girls that excessively flirt with my boyfriend. I'm not saying that I don't flirt a bit or have guys surrounding me all the time. The difference is that I treat them as my friends and only as friends. When a female, that starts showing more than a passing interest in my boyfriend, starts messaging him odd messages, I will, without a damnable doubt, get annoyed. Once, twice, it's cute and all that you like him that much, but please, anymore than that, you're looking for a punch.
I won't say who you are. If you read my blog, I'm warning you. Don't you sms him rubbish like that again. I don't appreciate it. Nick doesn't like it either, alright? Look, I'm not trying to be mean and a hypocritical bitch, but the truth is that I draw the line a bit when it comes to flirting. I believe that so long the other individual realises that nothing will ever transpire from the interaction, it's fine. But in this particular female's case, she has a history in liking nick. Nick is attractive, though he denies vehemently, and from the structure of the sentence and the manner of the message, I know that she's obviously trying to get his attention. On more than one occasion, she has shown more then a passing interest in Nick. I've always known that she likes Nick to a degree. I tolerate it only because she didn't try to be funny and directly come at him. If you're reading, Ms. I'll-strangle-myself-with-spaghetti, I'm telling you to lay off him. I don't hate you, but I don't like you doing all this. Yes, you're his friend, and you've known him longer than I have, but think about it... if he were single, it would be fine. but since he's not, try respect the fact that I dislike it, aight?
Work is starting to roll now. Hopefully, I can keep my head above the water. Report due Friday, need to do research on renewable resources using plant biotechnology, need to check up on my agar plates in the morning, need to ensure my plant culture doesn't get contaminated... gah!!!!
Went jeans-shopping today at Giordano. I bought, for the very first time in maybe a decade, straight cut jeans. Well, it was really only because mummy dear insisted on it and it actually looks good on me! I didn't get the skinny jeans as my thighs are thunder thighs and having thunder thighs do not go well with skinny jeans. So yeah. I have me a pair of straight cut jeans. Was planning to get me a pair of drawstring pants while I was at it, but then we ran out of time so I had to leave. The price was rather low too. Normal price was RM 159 but that particular branch seems to always sell this 50% cheaper so I got it for around RM 80! J
Daddy was terribly cute! He saw the jeans and the only thing he could say was, "Wah! It's so low cut! Don't want la. Go elsewhere to buy la!". Lucky for me, my mum was there and she immediately started berating my dad on his lack of knowledge on the current fashion. He was still frowning and grumbling about how my butt would pop out the minute I start walking around in the jeans when I paid for the jeans. I was rather surprised that the jeans were comfortable. I did wear Nick's jeans once, for fun. Despite the fact it was too big and I had to wear another pair of shorts inside to prevent it from falling right off, it was nice to wear… but then again, I just put them on for a few second before bursting into laughter about the large size! :P
Was studying GEN3030 last night and all I could think was… SHIT!!!! I barely know what I'm bloody hell reading… fuck weh… scary I tell you! Some more the damn paper's like a couple of weeks from now. I'll be pushing everything aside for my supplementary paper then concentrate on my subjects this sem. Obviously I'll be doing my reports and all, but I think I'll start revision only after the supplementary paper :S. ok la. Back to work…

when i was just a little kid, i used to love eating straw mushrooms. to me, they were really tasty and all that. then as i grew up a little bigger, say around 5 years of age, i noticed a similarity between the straw mushrooms and my younger brother's *ahem* ;) when you're below ten and have a sibling of around the same age, taking baths together are fun. but i digress... since my discovery, everytime i see or eat straw mushrooms, i can't help but giggle to myself as i remember why i secretly (not so secretly anymore though, since i find this amusing) called straw mushrooms "Ku ku chiao mushroom".
